What are the five stages of building a fire?

I'm not sure if there are 5 stages or not but here are some things to remember.

  1. Clear out a safe area, away from tents, low hanging tree limbs, ignition sources, pathways. Remove all burnable material away from the fire area for several feet in all directions.
  2. Make sure that you have dry "tinder" to start the fire with. Smaller is better. Start with small twigs and slowly work your way to larger wood. Green wood will not burn well and is not good to try and start a fire with.
  3. Before you strike a match, make sure that you have enough wood at hand to keep the fire burning as someone is gathering more wood. If you are alone, have enough wood on hand to do all you need the fire to do. Never leave a fire unattended. I have seen too many people start a fire and then run to gather more wood only to return and find the fire has used up all the starter wood and gone out.
  4. If you are cooking with your fire, coals cook better than flames. Flames are unreliable and can burn the food. As your fire grows, move the coals to one side, preferably the side that the smoke is not going to. As you cook, you can rake more coals from the fire to your cooking area.
  5. When you are finished with your fire, pour water onto the fire and stir the coals with a stick. Continue to do this until the fire is completely out and there are no more glowing coals. If it is cool enough to touch, it is cool enough to leave. Many forest fires are started by unattended fires that campers "thought" were out.
  6. Be safe. Allow no running or playing with or near the fire area.

Avoid erections at camp?

Hummmmmmmm - I'm guessing that you are asking, How can YOU avoid getting an erection while at camp?

Well, you can't. You don't say how old you are, but from my personal experience, I got erections almost anytime for no reason starting at around age 8.

It's just part of being a boy. The trick is, to become cleaver at hiding your erection when you get one.

You mentioned camp, so I'm going to guess again that you might be talking about while taking a shower or skinny dipping. This is a tough one because if you get an erection while showering with all your friends around, they might start saying that you're gay - and that's not good. So, try to stall and shower very quickly when most others are done.

As for skinny dipping - keep a towel close to the waters edge and get out at the first sensation. Once the feeling begins, a boy starts thinking about it. The more you think about it, the harder it gets. Every boy discovers that.

I'm going to guess one more time and say that other than at Camp, you never have to get naked with other boys. And that makes you nervous because you're afraid of getting an erection.

How about this: ask mom if there is a pool nearby where you could take swim lessons. That would begin to get you used to at least changing in front of other boys.

One last thing: all those other boys are scared to death of getting an erection too.

What is a good generator for home and camp use?

There are many good generators on the market. You have to look for one that meets your needs. They need to be able to handle the wattge that you anticipate you will use. Some are very quiet and very good on fuel. Check around to see what meets your needs. One for camping should be light weight and quiet. One for your house should be able to run a refrigerator and or freezer plus some lights and maybe a portable heater. Look at the items that you want to use andsee how many watts they use. It will be on a tag or on the item itself. Add up the wattage from all the items that you want to run and get a generator that that will handle that many watts. I have a really good one that is very dependable and I would love to tell you who manufacturers it but I have to be impartial and let you make the choice.
